I dont want to get political but honestly this is what makes me want concealed carry, if this happens to me in a public place I would like to shoot back.

QUOTE (Brian @ Dec 14, 2012 -> 12:10 PM) Brooklyn Decker is such a b****. #league Even through all the high fructose corn syrup I can still taste the Jenny

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Dec 14, 2012 -> 12:12 PM) What the son of a f***. What kind of evil trash do you have to be to even be capable of pulling this off? Innocent people...and kids. KIDS. Those who haven't even had the time in their short lives to truly live. I really don't have words enough to express my anger, or sadness. I hope anyone involved is somehow dealt a punishment worse than death. I wish them to be subjected to endless torture throughout eternity. Unfortunately these p*****s generally take their own lives.

QUOTE (Brian @ Dec 14, 2012 -> 12:09 PM) Reporting 27 dead, 18 kids. They think the shooter is a father of one of the kids. Wtf Wow, just horrible. What point could that possibly prove?

I will never understand the need to go to a public place and kill strangers to prove a point

QUOTE (Cali @ Dec 14, 2012 -> 11:51 AM) Illitch is just going spend crazy because he wants a title before he dies. When he does (whether they win one or not) it'll be interesting to see what they do with all the long term contracts. Do they go full on fire sale? I wouldnt be surprised to see Dan Gilbert make a run at the Tigers if they are ever for sale. He owns about 75 percent of the downtown Detroit area.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 14, 2012 -> 09:41 AM) Circa 2003 Yeah but Detroit overpays everyone, I dont see KC doing that anytime soon.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Dec 14, 2012 -> 10:51 AM) are you happy with the Series translation from the books? Its going to get more difficult as the territory expands, but for now its been pretty awesome. I like how the intro coincides with what areas they've covered.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Dec 14, 2012 -> 11:27 AM) Harrenhal, is that the place that Arya was taken after she escaped Kings Landing? Where she became the servant girl? Yes. Supposed to be the largest castle in the kingdom.

QUOTE (Rex Hudler @ Dec 13, 2012 -> 10:40 PM) That's a bunch of crap. Yes, the possibility is there for this to happen, but until it does, your words are nothing but noise. Things work out. Last year the Zeller's agreed to pay to open up a scholarship if needed. It's quite possible things are handled out of the public view. And its not like this doesn't happen elsewhere. Last year Kyle Kuric paid his own way to stay and play at Louisville and he was a starter. To act as if it is sinister without having any substance is a bunch of crap. Wake me up when I say it only happens at indiana and is sinister.

QUOTE (dasox24 @ Dec 14, 2012 -> 10:30 AM) I would like to say that I'm completely in favor of this Catholic basketball league. Think it would be great. All that makes me think about is Basketball diaries.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Dec 13, 2012 -> 11:32 AM) If one shooting defines Philly, then Chicago has no room to talk. How often do we shoot opposing fans on the L

If I'm Hamilton I take that contract with the Angels too, regardless of what Texas offers.

QUOTE (Lillian @ Dec 13, 2012 -> 02:34 PM) I'll simply repeat that the Sox are looking for a LH bat for the middle of the order. Trumbo is not left handed. Trumbo is a guy that interests the Sox though regardless of which batters box he stands in.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Dec 13, 2012 -> 02:26 PM) Maurice Clarett tidbits: http://deadspin.com/5967649/how-maurice-cl...dium=socialflow Just wait, he has a 30 for 30 coming out. Hopefully it talks about where that money came from (it was the mob). That story were he was supposedly going to kill someone is a bit off, the real story as told by people close to him is that the mob was coming back to collect on the loans he got and thats why he was wearing kevlar at all times.

QUOTE (He_Gawn @ Dec 13, 2012 -> 12:17 PM) Oh definitely, but as a leaper, it's him and Williams. Perea won't get much time until the end of the year, if that. He's still got that foot issue. They'll be too much depth for him to beat out with Zeller, Watford, Elston, and Hollowell down there. Those guys are so tall though. And did any of them dunk over Seth Davis? I think not.

QUOTE (He_Gawn @ Dec 13, 2012 -> 05:27 AM) Still boils down to Roth playing four years and also got his MASTERS degree. Bringing up story and bawa is hilarious. We could barely field a team and story was damn good for Nevada. To top it off, Roth wasn't even a Crean recruit. He's so mad at IU, he's already been to half their games. Right, he loved the program so much he decided to take one for the team, forgo his last year of eligibility and take great job offers and references from the coach who asked him to do this for the program. Makes sense.

If you can take that salary and put it into another player either via trade/payroll addition or free agency you f***ing do it. 35 year old catchers are for teams with only one hole, we have several.

QUOTE (farmteam @ Dec 13, 2012 -> 12:00 AM) I'm obviously biased to say Oladipo, but I still haven't forgotten that one-handed slam on an in-bounds pass Thompson did against Indiana last year. Rodney Williams should probably at least be in the discussion, too. Ah good point. And I didnt mean to misspell Oladipo. Thompson has had some really highlight dunks this year but you just pointed out one of the best.

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Dec 12, 2012 -> 11:44 PM) I'm probably going to give it a shot, Apple Maps f***ed me over once again tonight. The traffic sucks but the turn by turn has been awesome for me. Didnt renew my subscription for garmin.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Dec 12, 2012 -> 11:30 PM) I'm not sure it's set in stone that he will have a bad year. The history is there, but how are we so sure that this Rios is the same Rios from a few years ago? If you watched him last year, Rios seemed like a different kind of player. His performance was more consistent (go look at his monthly splits, as opposed to a year like 2010). He didn't disappear in the second half like he did in 2010. Not only that, his personality on the field and in the dugout changed. It seemed like he cared that he would have an awful at bat or that he didn't do his job correctly. Maybe he'll screw with mechanics in the off-season or get off to a bad start in 2013 and have a crappy year. Or maybe he won't. I just don't think it's that obvious that Rios will be bad next season. There are a multitude of things that have changed about him since 2011 and I don't think it's fair to judge him solely based off of his performance from 2009-2011. That's fine, its all opinion at this point. In his career I've seen an every other year player and I think he will be hot garbage and we will wish we unloaded him. I think he's A1 on the trade table as far as OF'ers

Also, highest flyer in Big Ten? Olidipo or Sam Thompson?

Rios is going to have a bad year. Dealing him now is smart. He has a pattern in his career and at times his team follows. Personally I believe and have heard he would be the first Ofer they would deal.

And overall, I love Bielema, other that keeping my team from a legitimate shot at a national title we have beat the s*** out of him. However, my Wisconsin friends have detested him for a few years because of his tendency to beat down crap teams and lose in important games, especially to what has been the big dog in the conference. They also probably hated my gloating, but seriously its not isolated to since he left. Badge I disagree on a TON of s*** (everything?), but I really have seen his point of view first hand. When Chryst left and took other assistants with him many Wisconsin fans thought the writing was on the wall.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Dec 12, 2012 -> 07:37 PM) I do n't understand why wins would be a terrible way to look at it. When they picked the Big Ten coach of the year, you complained and mentioned wins. No, I mentioned improvement in wins. Win differential from year to year. (Badge, I b****ed that its been 33 years since OSU had a COTY, and Urban took a 6-7 team to 12-0 and didnt win it) The first few years of Alvarez were cleaning up dogs***, thats why his win % is a little harder to study. BB came into a good program with high expectations and followed a system already in place.
